Hermans, Julien (author)This thesis presents a data-driven design approach for emission reduction using bunker delivery notes (BDNs) to help support the revised IMO strategy to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by international shipping close to 2050. This research supports the Horizon Europe’s Digital Twin for Green Shipping (DT4GS) project which focuses on...master thesis 2024

Degeling, Pieter (author)New methods of ship propulsion are required to meet the targets for reducing global emissions of greenhouse gases. Hydrogen-powered fuel cells can be used to greatly reduce emissions, facilitating renewable shipping. Fuel cell durability is recognised as a large barrier to widespread fuel cell application. The goal of this graduation project is...master thesis 2024

Abhyankar, Aashay (author)Global average temperatures are setting new records compared to the previous decade, primarily due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases such as CO<sub>2</sub>. The growth potential in emerging economies worsens the current global situation. These CO<sub>2</sub> emissions are needed to be curtained and efforts are underway. The emissions...master thesis 2023

Lagendijk, Laurens-Jan (author)The global emission of harmful greenhouse gasses has to be reduced. Commercial shipping contributes to these emissions by using fossil fuel as the only energy source to provide propulsion and power auxiliary systems. In order to reduce fuel consumption, much research is focused on increasing the efficiency of the propulsion system and reducing...master thesis 2022

Jensen, Courtland (author)Wind-assisted ships are installed with wind propulsors capable of generating thrust for aiding the propulsion of the ship, with the purpose of saving fuel by reducing the required propeller speed and thus engine power. Wind-assisted ships are becoming more common due to high fuel prices and rising environmental concerns. The subject of this...master thesis 2022

Lupoae, Laurentiu (author)Maritime transport represents one of the main means of product delivery and passenger transportation across the world but its impact on climate change has positioned it among the world's biggest CO2 pollutants. One of the most impacted regions in the world by maritime transport emissions is the South Pacific Region. Studies show that if climate...master thesis 2022

de Vries, Volkmar (author)Shipping is, and will continue to be, the most important transportation method around the globe. A vital part of the logistic chain, it is also one of the main contributors to the worldwide CO2 emissions. Current propulsion technologies all rely on the same classic diesel driven technology, as diesel is widely available and has a high energy...master thesis 2022

de Vos, P. (author), Somers, L.M.T. (author), Tinga, T. (author), Foekema, E.M. (author), van der Zwaan, B. (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)Several news items and short movies have appeared online recently, announcing that the AmmoniaDrive Consortium was awarded a prestigious NWO Perspectief grant. But what is the AmmoniaDrive research project? How does it contribute to combatting shipping-induced climate change? Who are in the consortium and why? And finally, what research...journal article 2022

Sui, Congbiao (author), de Vos, P. (author), Stapersma, D. (author), Visser, K. (author), Hopman, J.J. (author), Ding, Yu (author)Analysis of ship propulsion system performance is often performed using detailed hydrodynamic models to assess load changes, which are subsequently compared to static engine limits, or by detailed engine models that are rarely integrated with sufficiently detailed propulsion models for load change estimation. To investigate the dynamic engine...journal article 2022

van Laar, Ghislaine (author)This research examines the possible pathways and available technologies that will help the shipping sector to achieve the climate goals set by the IMO. Reaching these goals will require financial incentives and policies regarding sustainability. These policies need to describe regulations at both international and regional level given the...master thesis 2021

Sui, Congbiao (author)The shipping industry, which remains the backbone of international merchandise trade, is striving to reduce its operational cost and more importantly its environment impact. New ships need meet the EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) requirements of IMO (International Maritime Organization). However, the current EEDI is not able to accurately...doctoral thesis 2021

Bosma, Lars (author)Throughout the last century, high energy-density fossil fuels have been the main energy source for merchant shipping. As the world tries to minimize the effects of global warming, shipowners are forced to significantly reduce their $CO_2$ emissions. Because alternative fuels are expensive, the interest in wind energy, which has been the single...master thesis 2021

Hageman, Koen (author)With the use of simulation models, predicting and optimising the correct dynamic behaviour and parameters of a propulsion system of a ship can be performed cheap and safe. However, capturing the right dynamic behaviour is very difficult. Besides, building simulation models and determining the correct parameters is a time consuming process. With...master thesis 2021

Vrijdag, A. (author), Martelli, M. (author)Simulation models of the ship propulsion system play an increasingly important role, for instance in controller design and condition monitoring. However, creation of such simulation models requires significant time and effort. In this paper, the application of deterministic identification techniques on a DC-electric ship drive train is explored...journal article 2021

Kortenhorst, Julia (author)Traditionally, ships are powered by fossil fuels in combustion engines, causing 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Alternative installations have yet to prove their reliability and are currently not as cheap or technological ready. <br/>To enable ship-owners to prepare their ship for the future, but postpone their decision on which...master thesis 2020

Kuo, Ting-Kai (author)During the energy transition, a wind-assisted ship propulsion system has the potential for increasing energy efficiency according to the ship’s EEDI (Energy Efficiency Design Index) in the short term. However, it would not only make the diesel engine run in off-design condition, but its dynamic behavior due to time-varying wind and waves is...master thesis 2020

van de Sanden, Klaas (author)A fairly recent development in the maritime industry is the rising interest in composites, as they have great potential to outperform conventional metallics. They offer good corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, a low magnetic signature, and a high strength to stiffness ratio. In case of a propeller, the latter may be utilized by adapting...master thesis 2020

Boonstra, Sjoerd (author)The awareness of the climate change is increasing and the effect of air-pollution is irrefutable. To decrease the emissions of large ships the required amount of fuel has to be minimized. This is done by increasing the efficiency of the engine, decreasing the hull resistance or by lowering the cruise speed. Another interesting way of decreasing...master thesis 2020
